As this page seems to be a platform for political discussions and advertising (I thought this site was about art) why not turn your attention towards the endangered wildlife. I have posted my rhino-painting in the critiques corner for days - I don't need ratings I want reactions! Nobody seems to have heard of endangered species before.
According to WWF, "fifteen years after a global ban on elephant ivory trade went into effect, the United States remains a major market for ivory, with American consumers at home and abroad fueling the demand, a TRAFFIC investigation finds.
Demand in Africa and Asia continues to drive an increase in illegal trade of elephant ivory, an analysis of global seizure records finds. At least 4,000 elephants a year are being killed to supply the global demand for ivory carvings, jewelry and other products, experts estimate.
Illegal demand for horn, high unemployment, poverty, demand for land, wars, the ready availability of arms and internal instability also pose a threat to rhino populations."
